Found a couple of pix on page 41 of the June 86 HVWs.  The original 
was created by a Mr. Liptak; in the photos it's on top of a 
23-window.  The article sez a Rick Shine, who would reportedly be 
replicating the thing, was at a "Winter Meet" at 
the Puyallup Fairgrounds in Seattle (3/86).  It also mentions an 
article on the boat in the 11/85 "Transporter Talk" column (don't 
have that one).

I think I remember seeing a fuller spread somewhere.  Maybe some of 
you listers are more anal than me?  Dig thru them back ish's, gang!
